So Emily - are we supposed to become members of the blog or do you just want our lists?
Thanks for doing this, btw!
Hi amanda, i think it would be handier if we all became members. I'm going to stick up my email address, or post me yours here and i'll add you.
I just looked over your list Emily and it's so good! We have a lot of crossovers.
Ha great minds think alike! I've gone through other lists and we all have very sim books or books by same author which will be fun!
This will be interesting since we have so many books showing up on multiple lists. This was a great idea!
Here is my list, Emily -- thanks again!

I also think it would be neat if any of us could do the occasional individual post about things we notice (most common book, basic book stats [male vs. female authors or whatever), any other trends we notice. Could be cool. I am probably less blogarrifically-savvy than the rest of you, and so will await instructions about how to mark off books as read or how to offer post ideas. Great lists -- great group of readers!
Andromeda,
i think this is a great idea for posts!! looking at people's list theres always 5-10 of same authors
Nice!!
As I commented on someone else's list, I cannot believe how many of us have so many books in common.
This is going to be fun. Thanks for giving us this platform to work with.
I see some of my favorites on your list. This really is a great idea, and it is going to be loads of fun to see it unfold.
